Why can't pharmaceutical companies make their drugs taste good? They do it for kids so the technology is in place. Why do medications have to taste like, well, like medicine?
Two of the drugs I take daily are so incredibly nasty tasting.
I take megestol acetate to stimulate my appetite. The dosage is basically half a shot glass of this vile-tasting, thick liquid. If anything, it kills my appetite for a while. No wonder I've dropped 14 pounds in two weeks.
I also have to take 0.6 mg of tincture of opium. Let me tell you, 0.6 mg is more than enough. It's purpose is to keep the food I've eaten stay inside. I take it four times a day and each time after swallowing it my whole body shudders.
I don't think there's any need to make adult medications taste this awful. Let's revert back to kid-dom and demand more pleasant-tasting meds, like bubblegum or cherry flavored.
How hard can it be?
